Feedback on Box Pouring on Grill

I made an animation where you use the box to pour an item onto the grill. Since I haven’t started scripting on it yet, you won’t see the items pouring out. I just need feedback on the animation and how to improve it as I am not fully satisfied with the result. Thanks!

The swipe where it actually pours, seems a little stiff to me.

Edit: also doesn’t cover whole grill

Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely make the pour less stiff. It’s also not supposed to cover the whole grill, just the middle but thanks! ^^

It looks like it keeps pouring across the grill rather than in just one spot in my eyes atleast, so maybe add more movement after it pours?

What are you using to move the box is looks very robotic. If you are using tweens using the sine easing style will make most thing look more life-like.

Yes I can do that! How would I add more movement after it pours?

Thank you! I’ll try using sine.

Pour yourself a drink, watch your movements, or with the cap on a bottle try and replicate what your want for your animation, thats how I normally plan out my animations.

Ah alright! I’ll try that thanks!

The arm movement seems a little unnatural. Just rotate the hand instead of the whole arm when pouring.

when the box is in the air, don’t use in to out i would recommend you to use in (i use cubic) and use in on the falling animation. using out makes it look robotic. everything else has already been covered by the other comments

I think you aren’t satisfied with 2 things:
How it stays floating mid-air for too much time and
How waits to pour it (and it should be at an angle of more than 90 degrees as it wouldn’t pour everything, must be at least 91 if I’m correct)

Try starting with the box opening tilted slightly up like it’s a full glass and you don’t want all the liquid pouring out at once, then as it passes across the grill tip it so more pours out as it empties.

Well, seems other Developers have commented before me on how to improve. I do feel that it’s slightly unnatural with its stiff movements.
